About this piece
The Deps Sakamata Shad is a 5-inch soft stick bait designed to mimic the darting, splashing escape action of baitfish. The built-in keels on both sides of the body generate a natural jump-and-dart movement with just a hook set, triggering bass reaction strikes with ease. Available in #147 Purple Shad.
